INCANDESCENT GAS-LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1909.

Application filed. March 27, 1908. Serial No. 423,586.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARVEY M. EAGON, a citizen of the United States,'residing at New Comerstown, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Incandescent Gas-Lamps, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to improvements in incandescent gas lamps. The main object of my invention is the production of a lamp having an upright and an inverted incandescent burner, each of which is provided with an independent duct and control, so that they may burn independently and together.

To more clearly illustrate my invention, attention is invited to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete fixture. Fig. 2 is a vertical central sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view with the inverted or lower globe removed Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of my new form of cock or valve used with this fixture. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the lamp with the upright globe removed.

Referring to the drawings :The numeral 1 designates the gas inlet pipe, having the two branches 2. At the lower ends of each of these branch pipes, I secure my angle mixer valve or regulator casing 3, the two short pipes or couplings 4 and 5, connecting the inner threaded ends 6, of the casings 3 to the burners support 7. This burners support, is provided with the inclined partition wall 8, which provides the two chambers 9 and 10, within the support, the chamber 9, being in communication with the coupling 4 and the burner or tube 1 1, while the chamber 10, is in communication with the coupling 5 and the inverted burner or tube 12. The burners 11 and 12 carry the upright mantle 15 and the inverted mantle 16, respectively, and thus form supports therefor.

Carried upon the tube 11, is the chimney support 13, the chimney support 14 and the upright mantle 15, while supported upon the lower end of the tube 12 is the inverted mantle 16. These mantles are supported in the usual manner, being removab y attached to the burners.

As the valves 16 and 17, control respectively the admission of gas to the chambers 9 and 10, respectively, the upright mantle or the inverted mantle may be used as desired.

In order to support globes, I employ the two sleeves 18, which are secured .upon the couplings 4 and 5, and carry the upright globe supporting ring 19, which is provided with the upwardly projecting peripheral flange or rim 19, which holds the lower rim of the globe 20 in place. Dependingly supported upon the couplings 4 and 5, by means of the two sleeves 21, is the lower or inverted globe supporting ring 22, which is provided with the downwardly projecting peripheral rim or flange 23, which in connection with the set screws 24, engages the rim of the inverted globe 25, and supports the same upon the fixture, the said globe 25, being provided with a central opening 26, whereby the inverted burner is ignited.

My improved angle mixer valve or regulator, which is clearly shown in Fig. 4, consists primarily of the globular casing 27, which is divided vertically by means of the partition or wall 28, into a gas receiving chamber 29 and the air and gas mixing chamber 30, the said wall having a central opening 3], which is controlled by the needle valve 32, so that gas may be admitted to the mixing chamber, where air is drawn through the perforations 33, and mixed with the gas before the mixture passes to the burners. If desired a suitable band 34 may be employed to regulate the supply of air:

What I claim, as new, is

1. In an incandescent gas lamp, the combination of a main gas supply, two branches in communication therewith, a valve to each branch, a supporting member divided into two chambers and having an upright and an inverted burner, each in communication with its respective chamber, and means for connecting each of said chambers to its respective valve controlled branch.

2. In an incandescent gas lamp, the combination of a main gas supply, two branches in communication therewith, a gas mixing chamber secured to each branch, a valve to each chamber for controlling the gas supplied thereto, and a supporting member having two burners and two chambers, in communication with the branches.

3. In an incandescent gas lamp, the combination of a main gas supply, two branches in communication therewith, a gas and air mixing casing, one connected to each branch, a valve to control each casing, a globular casing having two chambers and a burner to each chamber, one of said chambers being in communication with one branch while the other chamber is in communication with the other branch, and a mantle carried by each burner.

4. In an incandescent gas lamp, the combination of a main gas supply, two branch pipes supported thereby and in communication therewith, a valved gas and air mixer connected to each branch, a coupling to each casing, each projecting toward each other, a double burner joining said couplings, and mantles carried by said burner.

55. In an incandescent gas lamp, the combination of a main gas supply, two branch pipes supported thereby and in communication therewith, a valved gas and air mixer connected to each branch, a coupling to each casing projecting toward each other, a double burner joining said couplings, two mantles carried by said burner, and an inverted globe and an upright globe supported by said couplings.

6. A mantle support for incandescent gas lamps, consisting of a globular casing; divided by an inclined partition into two chambers and having oppositely arranged independent inlets, one for each chamber, and two oppositely arranged burner outlets, one to each chamber, each inlets respective outlet being at right angles thereto.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
